Hey there

My partner has a 3 year old son with a woman who he didn't have a relationship with, Maybne spring fling?

We have started getting the kiddo overnight some but she controls the calendar and chooses when we see him. We're in court trying to get an order for joint custody and a more regular schedule because we feel the child deserves more time with his Dad.

The Biomom really doesn't make it easy. She doesn't communicate any routines and changes the calendar on a whim so sometimes we go weeks before seeing him. It's super frustrating. My partner and I work fairly well together and are just biding our time but I also feel like I am kept at a distance when it comes to parenting. I have committed to the idea of a family and changed a lot of my plans and just feel like I am still not "accepted" as an equal. I know he has a lot to deal with with Biomom but I struggle finding where I fall into the mix sometimes.
